Really been enjoying The Beast in Me on Netflix β€” fantastic performances from Clare Danes and Matthew Rhys. However last night’s episode (5) had such an unlikely phone-related plot device that surely could have been resolved in a more believable way. A bit disappointed tbh!

On a bit of a holiday to Porto. The bad news for me is that it is raining here possibly even more than back home.

There’s a scene about half way through the film The Great Beauty that uses Arvo PΓ€rt’s version and it’s so beautiful and melancholy- always makes me well up

This is used so well in the film The Great Beauty - that scene always makes me well up

Patterns Bristol based electronic music artist. Techno, experimental, breaks/bass/garage (as Hanmoto), and more.

Released this techno groove the other day… think it’s pretty good even if I do say so myself: on.soundcloud.com/akxB8hCT9Jmk...

Hanmoto - Spooky Stranger Escher Things Another silly Halloweeen drum n bass remake/cover for Escher, this one of the Stranger Things theme

If you’re looking forward to watching the Stranger Things finale today like me, a while ago I made a dnb cover of the theme tune and it is a bit of a banger (even if I do say so myself): on.soundcloud.com/PgTR2UdIxiJV...

Happy Festivus, one and all!

May your Feats of Strength be brutal, your aluminium pole undecorated and your Airings of Grievances prolonged.

A Festivus for the Rest of Us!
